The Calidore String Quartet has been recognized for achieving an extraordinary cohesion of individual artistry and collective expression — what The Washington Post described as “four more individual musicians are unimaginable, yet these speak, breathe, think and feel as one.” Their artistry reflects a profound engagement with both the classical canon and the evolving language of 21st-century chamber music. Program includes String Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 33, No. 2, Hob.III:38, “Joke,” Joseph Haydn; Selections from At the Octoroon Balls, Wynton Marsalis; and String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 131, Ludwig van Beethoven.
